Time's Ripe For New Home For Hothouse

April 12, 1996|By Howard Reich.

HotHouse, the celebrated Chicago avant-garde club that has been homeless since '95, will be reborn in a new location.

While details have not yet been announced, owner Marguerite Horberg has obtained the promise of funding from a major Chicago philanthropic organization, enabling her to reopen the club for jazz, new music, poetry and more.

Horberg is looking for a site for HotHouse, which flourished for five years at 1565 N. Milwaukee Ave.

Though HotHouse was essentially a one-woman operation masterminded by Horberg, the club will reopen as a bona fide arts institution with a board of directors.
